Equine Muscle Release Therapy For Horses

We all know that horseswere not exactly made to carry
people on their backs, let alone perform at the levels we expect of them.

Small wonder then that at some time in their career, most horses suffer
some form of damage, either through injuryor wear
and tear.

Add to this the fact that horses, being naturally prey animals, will
attempt to mask any sign of weakness, that would leave them open to attack
from predators, and you are left with a lot of horses struggling to perform.

The compensatory patterns then set up in the body, create unnatural
forces on other muscles and limbs, which over the years become overworked
and painful.

By this time the horse may start to show signs of physical distress
or behavioural problems.

SYMPTOMS OF MUSCLE PROBLEMS IN HORSES

These include such symptoms as bucking or rearing; reluctance to jump;
going disunited; difficulty in changing canter lead; intermittent lameness;
resistance or becoming shut down and generally grumpy.

Treating only the area of apparent trauma will not produce the results
we require, as we need to find and treat the route cause also.

This is all possible with a therapy called Equine Muscle Release.

E.M.R.T. is the only form of the Bowen technique accredited
by the Bowen association of Australia.

Equine Muscle Release therapy
works in a very gentle and non-invasive way by releasing muscle spasm.
When muscles go into spasm, they not only restrict free movement but they
also trap nerves and compromise the circulation.

This means that essential
nutrients and oxygen do not reach the cells, and toxins build up in
the horse's muscles.

Because EMRT works on the whole of the horses body, it may bring surprising
benefits. For example, it also helps with restricted breathing (COPD), and growths
such as sarcoids
and warts may spontaneously disappear as the immune system is boosted.

We always ask you to check with your vet before commencing a course
of treatments.

MANAGING CHRONIC CONDITIONS WITH EQUINE MUSCLE RELEASE THERAPY

The therapy is useful for managing even chronic conditions . A significant
improvement is expected from three, sometimes less, treatments, speed
of recovery depending on the age of the horse and how long the problem
has been brewing.

The treatment itself will take 45-60 minutes with a thorough assessment
of the horse beforehand.

EMRT practitioners undergo a rigorous two year training only open to
experienced horse people, consisting of workshops, home study, case histories
,anatomy and physiology assignment and thorough examinations.

They carry full insurance,are members of the Bowen association of Australia
,and hold a first aid certificate.

Our final examination is validated by Alison Goward,who has spent more
than 15 years developing the therapy and Dr. T.J. McEvoy QDAH(Hons), BVSc(Hons),
MRCVS.
